No knitting this week

It's a miracle - I haven't thought about knitting at all last week. I've just got back from a week ski-ing in La Plagne in France and we did so much ski-ing and I was so exhausted that I haven't thought about knitting once. I got back home last night and although my knitting was sitting looking at me, I just didn't have the energy to pick it up. Back to work today and then got the washing and food shopping to contend with this evening so I think it'll be a few days yet before I get back to my knitting.

I'm waiting on the last 2 balls of Kureyon arriving from Knitting Garden to finish off my Afghan lizard panels.

Mrs Beeton Wrist Warmers

One of the ladies at my knitting club was making these and I thought they would make the perfect present for my friend's 30th birthday. I made them in dark pink as it is her favourite colour. She loved them and couldn't believe I had made them. I found the kidsilk haze quite fiddly to knit with on 4 circulars but the end result is so effective that I want to make a pair for myself now.

More Lizard Ridge Panels

I am nearing the end of my Lizard Ridge Afghan. I have had a bit of a break as I couldn't find any more colourways of Noro in the UK so I've been waiting on some new colourways coming from the States. I've only got 4 panels left to do and then it's the dreaded job of sewing it all together which is going to take ages - I'm sure it'll all be worth it in the end.

I've realised how much I have enjoyed doing these panels since taking a break. I find them really relaxing to knit since I now know the pattern off by heart.
